Since Dante Alighieri wrote the Divine Comedy, it has shaped our understanding of heaven, hell, romantic love, and the human condition. While Dante's works are celebrated worldwide, the circumstances of his extraordinary life are less well known. Born in 1265, Dante's adolescence was marked by literary genius, but his political activism in one of the medieval world's wealthiest cities led to his exile. Pre-eminent Dante scholar Alessandro Barbero and celebrated translator Allan Cameron bring the poet vividly to life, animating the political intrigue, violence, civil war, exile, and cities that shaped Dante's poetic and political life. This remarkable portrait of one of the creators of European literature and a towering medieval figure commemorates the 700th anniversary of his death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA vital guide for anyone seriously interested in Dante, this comprehensive book offers a deep exploration of the Italian poet's life and work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince Dante Alighieri wrote the Divine Comedy, it has shaped our understanding of heaven, hell, romantic love, and the human condition.
